KCSO tight with info on McFee shooting victim
Knox County Sheriff’s Office currently is investigating a shooting in which a woman reportedly was struck in the foot while in McFee Park late Sunday morning, April 28.
The woman, no name released by KCSO, was reportedly transported to a hospital, where her injuries were reported as “non-life threatening.”
On Monday, April 29, KCSO reportedly said the incident was believed to be accidental.
Reports stated Sheriff’s Office units were dispatched to McFee Park around 11:30 a.m. Sunday. KCSO reportedly stated it was unknown from where the bullet came, as the park is near a wooded area.
When contacting Town of Farragut for reaction, Wendy Smith, Communications manager, said, “I don’t think David (Smoak, Town administrator) will comment on this situation since it’s currently under investigation.”
Repeated attempts to reach KCSO Det. Whitney Bowers, who is leading the investigation, were unsuccessful as of press time Tuesday afternoon, April 30.
Seeking a law enforcement report by e-mail from KCSO, a media spokesperson stated such a report “can not (sic) be given out. It is under investigation.”
